The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A chaotic and resourceful building sim where you jury-rig space habitats from orbital trash, balancing survival with darkly comic slapstick physics.

What players say

Players enjoy the quirky idea of cobbling together junk spaceships, but almost everyone agrees the game was abandoned unfinished. Campaigns break, saves fail, controls remain clumsy, and there is little sense of progression or purpose.
